  2. B \(-4 \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}-12 \hat{k}\)
  3. C \(4 \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}+12 \hat{k}\)
  4. D \(12 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}+\sqrt{17} \widehat{k}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}+12 \hat{k}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{b}=14\left(\frac{2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}}{\sqrt{2^2+(-3)^2+6^2}}\right)=14\left(\frac{2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+6 \hat{k}}{7}\right)=4 \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}+12 \hat{k}\)
